Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan is ready for delimitation of its
state border with Armenia (the country’s longest border).
Garib Mammadov, the chairman of the State Land & Cartography Committee,
says that Azerbaijan is ready for delimitation of the border with
Armenia only after the latter releases occupied territories of
Azerbaijan.
"The state border between Azerbaijan and Armenia recognized by the
world community has length of 1 007 km," he said.
Diverse sources indicate different surface area of lands occupied by
Armenia – 16% and 20% of Azerbaijani territory.
"Surface of occupied lands of Azerbaijan is 20% with taking into
account buffer zone," Mammadov said.
